Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2010116216A1] The current invention is related with the search, storage and collection of objects, more precisely of laboratory samples, more precisely blood rubes identified with barcodes. The current invention is useful for increasing the speed for finding a specific subject, without robotics or mechanical moving parts, thus allowing greater flexibility and simplicity of the system. The invention describes a storage (1) with the combination of an array of sensors (2) with an array of visual indicators (3), especially with light, coupled with a reader's identification of objects. The array of sensors (2) detects when a sample is deposited or removed, and the array of indicators (3) is used to indicate the location of the sample wanted. Thus, the present invention has application in the areas of laboratory sample storage, logistics and general health care.
